I'm wondering if it's possible to add a Network Location via the command prompt? This is not a drive letter mapping mind which can be achieved using the net use command.

do you mean a connection to a unc path? you could use pushd if you don't want to use net use. pushd \\server\share or if you need to authenticate against the share and don't want to use a drive letter: net use \\server\share <pass> /user:<user> && pushd \\server\share – grub Oct 2 '10 at 14:07

Here is a script how to achieve this:How Can I Create a Shortcut in My Network Places?

To use them:

  • Copy the code into a Notepad file
  • Click File menu & choose SaveAs
  • Surround the file name in double quotes including the extension (") Example "Network Place Scrript.vbs"
  • In the File Types choose All Files
  • Click the Save button
